This one’s for Grumpy

So, Kyler has expressed some interest in fishing and Jason and Kyler went with a neighbor the other morning.  The neighbor offered to take all of the kids next Saturday and Ethan was so excited he said we get to go like this… and this video shows what “this” is.  He’s so funny!

Evelyn update

Well, she continues to grow and thus so do I.  She is already expressing her little personality.  She is very active, but will out and out kick anything that creates a new sensation on my belly.  If I wear clothes that have a seam or put some pressure on my belly she will kick it all day long except when I move it off my belly.  If you push her she will kick back.  If something cold touches my belly, she kicks it.  If I lay on my side, she kicks the bed…You get the idea.  Went to the doctor today though, and she seems to be thriving.  She is strong and growing fast.  The doctor is extremely pleased.  21 weeks and counting!

In my boredom, I have been crocheting things for her.  It passes the time and now that I know what she it, it makes me happy to do it!  Here’s a picture of the first blanket I made.

It’s Fall!!

The weather has been beautiful here lately, especially in the mornings and evenings.  We have a camping chair that is a recliner, so I have spent some time in the back yard enjoying it.

The kids finally convinced Jason to build a fire in the pit on Saturday and so we all sat outside in the nice weather and roasted…starbursts.  Mommy doesn’t like marshmallows, so we always have starbursts to roast too and this time the kids decided to only do the starbursts. It was fun.

“Mom, it’s dirty!”

They got bored, so they started to run around a play in the yard.

Ethan was already in pajamas.  He’s always willing to ham it up when there is a camera involved, so this is him showing us his Spiderman wings.  He’s too funny.

Spoiled Kitty…

The biggest culprit for spoiling cats in our house is actually Connie.  The girl gives them whatever they want.  The result is that they love her.  Evidence?

Neither of these cats was coerced into this position.  The first was asleep before I showed up with my camera.  The same with the second.  She’s definitely the cat magnet!

Then, Ethan seeing I have the camera out has to be a ham and get in front of it.

Who needs toys?

We had this box in our living room from a package that arrived. Boxes usually get left in our living room for a couple of days because Jason likes to spoil the cat who plays in them, but this time it was more than the cat that was spoiled.  Ethan spent a lot of time is this box that was just the right size for him!
